USANA Health Sciences

USANA Health Sciences, Inc is one of America’s leading health supplement Multi-Level/Network Marketing companies. Currently USANA Health Sciences distributes products in the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Singapore. But is USANA any different than the other MLM companies or is it more of the same with a new name.

The problem with MLM companies that focus on health supplements is that it’s near impossible to find out if the products actually work. The business models of USANA and similar companies severely prevent this for several reasons.

First of companies like USANA Health Sciences are founded by people with doctorate degrees in the sciences. This allows them to boast about the chemical make up of their supplements using terms that average folks don’t understand. Further since these products are not FDA approved these experts conduct “independent” research for all their results. So it becomes hard to tell if their information is biased or truly accurate.

Secondly, it’s hard to get a straight answer from distributors of health supplements like USANA. These people have a vested interest in selling these products. Often they fabricate elaborate stories of how supplements have helped their friends and family overcome a variety of ailments.

In regards to the USANA Health Sciences business opportunity there have been mixed reports about the profit potentials. USANA entered legal proceedings against an individual that reported on the failures of the majority of USANA distributors. There has been back and forth slander between both parties complicating the issue even further. However on the USANA website it states that the average earnings for North American distributors in 2005 were around $800.

If you look at MLM companies that have posted income results for their distributors this number seems very accurate. The general breakdown for MLM companies will usually reveal that between 80-90% of the people are barely clearing costs of running the business. Around 5-10% make an average living something like 40-60k a year, and the illustrious <5% are making serious money.

Despite the pervasiveness of these facts many people still join MLM programs like USANA Health Sciences. Usually it’s because they are referred by friends or family who they trust or simply because they believe that they can be in that tiny elite group making money.

I stopped joining businesses that have high failure rates because I've found something better. Something that has changed the way I think about being successful and earning an income. To get more information you can Check It Out Here.

And for those concerned about Usana's compensation plan, i think it is excellent; the thing that is complicated for some is convincing people whether they are willing to take a product that will keep them heathy and preventing degenerative desease in the long run (some people choose not to be healthy, iv actualy had someone say that to me). For those getting involved in the business is about believing in the product n remember your not in competition, its all about being CREATIVE.

To all those sceptical about taking the USANA product.... Do not hesitate to give it a try. I'v being taking USANA for a year and its definatly is having a profound effect on my body, i no longer suffer respitory problems, i use to suffer extreme depression,physically i feel rejuvinated and it even looks like the aging process has definatly slow down if not reversed. People, you have to understand that you are getting health at a CELLUAR level so for some it will be subtle and for others they'l notice a differance straight away but either way you are doing your body Good.

like the people above said, USANA is NOT a scam. People do not fail in this business, they just quit. Because they are either too lazy or have a bad leader. This business is actually a team effort guys. Remember, an industry like network marketing can't scam you, it takes a bad person to do it. people these days think mlm is synonymous to the word scam, but they're just ignorant. If a guy shot someone, don't blame the gun; the man had bad intentions to begin with. I'm telling you guys, come out to see what your friends and family are trying to share with you. Rather than doing your "own research", look at the facts. like how USANA is the sponsor of the WTA, 39 Olympian athletes took our products, 25 came home with medals, we're listed in Forbes and Businessweek as one of the 200 best small companies, top hot growth and we were in Self and Shape magazine. Plus, you cannot buy yourself into the PDR, you HAVE to follow GMP, which is very hard btw. apl.de.ap from Black Eyed Peas,... read more »

hahahaha.... james from seattle. You are only earning $400- $600. Yes you may be earning. Other companies are much much better. Do your research first before choosing USANA. I have made $600 in my second month with a company. I will not state which company as I am an honest business man. USANA has been in trouble many times with the law, like many other MLM. DO your research first into products, price, and company.

arnel, philippines	Posted at 10:25am on Friday, April 17th, 2009
i never try this product since this is new in our country. But whatever their impressions about USANA, to see is to believe and to believe in certain thing would make us well. Personally i want to try it since now a day, food supplement is the best alternative to prevent sickness.

o yea and Aaron from sf. dude these are vitamins... VITAMINS!!

ching san, do i not understand what network marketing is? the reason its not advertised is because if it was advertised they would lose money to advertisement. therefore pushing up the cost. instead of buying it for maybe $40, we would have to buy it for $100. cut out the middleman
NewMommy, FL	Posted at 12:31am on Monday, February 23rd, 2009
Watch the movie "Food matters" and you'll see why we need GOOD Vitamins. As of the business model, prove your stupid arguments that USANA is a scam. I can prove it's not, can you prove with FACTS that it is a scam? I'm not worried about losers, I know what is right for me and I'm willing to share it with people who are willing to open their eyes! Oh and by the way, we'll see what all of you ignorant people will say/do when us "scammers" will be living the lives of our dreams! Good Luck, I hope you have a long and healthy life!

Good stuff over priced
ching san li, philippines	Posted at 12:47am on Wednesday, February 18th, 2009
if this is such a great product, why do you still have to sell it through MLM? why not place them in drug stores or malls?? why not advertise its effectiveness???

I came across this website searching USANA Bipolar. I tried "Reset" and it worked, I went from 225 to 200 lbs which i maintain with about half the dose of vitamins and a shake on workdays for breakfast. I noticed though, that the chronic bronchitis that I suffered from my whole life stopped...Id get it 4 times a year for months at a time. Not having that sickness is just incredible, which has been since 2004. My son became "mentally ill" in 2007 to the point of dropping out of high school. this was a kid who tested at the very top of his class. It is such a heartache for a parent. It is an awful experience, and even though I'm experiencing a moment of hope...it can all be dashed away in moments. I started my son on the USANA program I'm on for bronchitis...which is watered down some, I take about a third of the recommended doses. Nothing significant happened. Remember, as a parent, you are feeling kind of desperate, I went to the full dose in December (the stuff is not chea... read more »

My mom likes the product and says it keeps her thin, so I would recommend this to all.
Michel, Texas	Posted at 9:01pm on Friday, January 16th, 2009
I am going to SPELL it out for those of you who can't grasp the concept of self employment - YOU GET OUT OF IT WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT!!! I am a USANA associate - and while I am not in the top elite, the products and business have done wonders for my family and myself. I have a bipolar child who is no longer "strung out" on high dosage of medication - due to the quality of the products. I also have a husband that no longer has to take 120 mg of morphine a day due to a broken neck from a car accident two years ago. No - this is not a FABRICATION... So those of you that want to call USANA a scam - GET OVER YOURSELVES AND LEARN THE CONCEPT OF HARD WORK AND HOW TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING!!!

Strictly as a consumer of USANA, if what's on the label is in the bottle & vise versa, USANA's formulations are among the best and most innovative. There is on other product I know of that supplies all the different vitamin c salts in a single pill. No other product I know of that uses the same mixed vitC formula in their toothpaste as well. FDA should not be considered an authority. See naturalnews.com about the antics of the FDA. Also a recent ca fast facts.pdf reveals there are over 250K distributors of USANA worldwide. 3/4 of them signed up "to improve their health" not necessarily to make money. Very few do go full-time with USANA, and of those that do, they earn mostly 34K/year, up to 98K per year (full-time)
Aaron, San Francisco	Posted at 11:24pm on Thursday, December 11th, 2008
Usana is a scam. PDR doesn't mean anything; they do not endorse their products listed or know about them, it is just an advertisement book with "facts" that the company who produces the drug puts in. I was laughing on my way out of the meeting, what a waste of time.

Anyone who wants to get rich quick needs to go buy a loto ticket. USANA is NOT a get rich quick scam. You DO have to work at it. I make $400-$600 a month at it. I have been doing it for about 6 months now. Thay do have great products! If you want to see a scam look at quick star/ amway that company is a joke!

I have also been a member of this program and here is my opinion; although I will not say that USANA is a scam, from my stand point, it is difficult to be successful with this business. I found it difficult to compete for sales when there were so many people that are offering the same types of products that I was. I even tryed personally selling the products face to face, door to door; with no success. Although I was unsuccessful in this venture, that does not mean that you will fail also. USANA offers live conference calls and mentoring to help you with your business, so at lease do your research and make an informed decision. I am not a fan of online companies that sell vitamins and other helth remedies, because there is too much competition in this field to outright dominate this area. This is not a scam, but this is not a get rich quick opportunity either. visit the website and ask questions if you are uncertain about this opportunity. It will take effort on your part for yo... read more »

This is a busines opportunity to own your business because your buying from the person who is scamming you to buy from there business to start your own business. There are making money from you by making you tnink your joining a team. As soon as Mr. Jeff Cabral asked me to pay for a training video kit ($20), and then vitamin package to sell ($239)...I left with about 45 min of wasted time under my belt. SCAM
Jennifer, San Francisco	Posted at 3:45am on Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008
USANA is not FDA approved and neither is any company selling vitamin products because they are vitamins are not drugs, but USANA is on the PDR (physician dest reference) on page 335. USANA is a great company, don not let someone else spoil this amazing opportunity.
mike, South bay, CA	Posted at 9:46am on Thursday, July 17th, 2008
Desmond, Thanks for the info; I am currently being approach by USANA people and thanks to your advice I will save my money and effort and invested into something else.
Desmond, UK	Posted at 9:06pm on Saturday, June 21st, 2008
USANA is a scam right through and through. Preying on the poor's emotions and desperation to make money for the top elite of the company is downright scum. And with regards to the above comment, how is USANA not an MLM company? It has a binary pyramid concept that is used to make many people join, and uses "distributors" to market its products. As a former distributor of USANA, and though I had not lost any money, I am absolutely disgusted at the lack of transparency in USANA's business antics and the sore absence of business integrity, driving me to quit the business altogether. It is one thing to keep mum about USANA's practices but another to mislead the general public. So do not casually label people as ignorant or pathetic. You are the ignorant one if you believe more unknowing people will follow suit the thousands who have become prey to this unethical company. There are no get rich quick schemes, just pure hard work. Even going door to door to sell retail vitamins will... read more »

First of all, USANA is not MLM. USANA focuses on Group sales volume points, which means that it is a team effort. And second, it is easy for an individual to sit there and judge a company without researching their compensation plan or the history of the company and its founder. People who listen to ignorant people are pathetic. Educate yourself and follow your own path of success. Do not base your success on other people’s failures. Love, Lydia.
